Figure 5. Changes in levels of mRNAs encoding caspase-3, caspase-8, c-FLIPL and c-FLIPS in BeWo cells due to infection are reverted upon IL-10 treatment.
Caspase-3 (A) and caspase-8 (B) were both up-regulated while c-FLIPS (C) and c-FLIPL (D) were both down-regulated in infected cells compared to uninfected cells. Levels were reduced in infected cells treated with IL-10 compared to infected cells while no changes in treatment IL-10 in untreated cells relative to uninfected cells..IL-10 treatment solely modulates excessive-expression of apoptosis associated cells and no role in normal expression. * p<0.05; ** p<0.01.
